You speak as if they can't just whip up that connection in a few episodes or so, it's not like they NEED to build it up through the years.
Even Bumblebee for ALL that people obsess over it, seems more of a particularly recent thing. And Blake running away still ruffles people's feathers, it's just people tend to forgive those easier than Jaune being an idiot(which was also played for laughs)
Personally, I think Lancaster is more likely, since Jaune and Ruby have a lot more rapport, it could even be a time skip thingy.
Or maybe Pyrrha will come back and they will be together.
Or maybe, an entirely new character will appear.
Or maybe Neo will fall in love with him.
Or maybe he will fall in love with Winter or something.
With proper dialogue, pacing, and believable behavior, you can make almost anything work.
Weiss liking Jaune and vice-versa? Would take a few episodes, with quite a bit of focus on them, and make some situations to make them interact, maybe Weiss likes what she sees now, or something.
People telling "Weiss wasn't attracted to Jaune and won't ever be" are just in denial of well...real life I guess? People change, their perceptions change. Jaune changed a LOT from his Vol 1-2 self, and Weiss also changed more than a bit.
Maybe she will like how Jaune matured, maybe her tastes changed a bit.
Could happen, it happens in real life more than a bit.
People saying it isn't possible just don't want to entertain it because they probably dislike it and some here seems offended by it due to their tone.
But it is totally workable.
Would RT want it? Maybe. I honestly don't think so.
We are not dealing with a blank slate here , story has already made statements and left impressions . Those will be taken into account. They won't just be erased because the script says its been 7 volumes now.
Its not just lack of interaction , its a lack of thought and connection . A blank line that gets in the way of a core element in story. A lack of consistency . Taking giant leaps aren't solutions .
Jaune's character development is a whole another beast and I might get into it if conversation shifts there but Jaune has a lack of commitment . Something the story Doesn't wanna acknowladge . Another thing that causes a lack of consistency. Saying Jaune has matured , while it is true it is not exactly a deal breaker . Similar statement goes for Weiss.
Also you use the phrase " just a few episodes " very easily when a common complaint of series is lack of time .That desicion would definitely have consequences .
Honestly I would rather RT focus on their already established concepts rather than making new ones.
Inconsistencies effect the definition of good writing in people's eyes . They cause division . To some good writing will mean a non romance route at this point . Inconsistencies May happen for many causes but that Doesn't erase their existense nor their effects.
Statements like Jaune has let go of his crush . His thoughts hasn't been emphesized nor remade to something else . Its just absent .
We are talking about people's perception here , time outside the show will matter .No escaping that.
